Fabulous French by Billie Bailey-Stocken
Exploring one of history’s messiest meltdowns in this bold, funny, and slightly gruesome retelling of the French Revolution — told by the woman history loves to blame: Marie Antoinette.
Through the eyes of Marie Antoinette, this performance traces a glittering world as it unravels. Branded extravagant and heartless, she confronts the rumours that defined her.
With humour, irony, and a touch of chaos, she dismantles the myths that made her history’s ultimate scapegoat.
But was she truly the villain or a young outsider caught in a political storm she never chose?
Expect laughter, drama, and a bold new perspective… because being queen can be a real pain in the neck.
